Question about SSN, ITIN, and expired passport

Hi all,

Hope this is the right place to post this.

My wife and I'm looking for a new apartment due to mold in our current place.

However, my wife doesn't have a SSN - she applied last year and they denied her request due to a name error in her i94 (it's been fixed now - but it was too late because her i-94 is expired) We sent our AOS package a while ago and they sent us a RFE but that's another story. But as a result, the process is delayed and my wife can't get her new SSN anytime soon.

The apartment we've been looking for said they won't accept my wife if she doesn't have a SSN or a ITIN. I don't completely understand what an ITIN is - but it has something to do with taxes? My wife doesn't work, so I'm not sure why an ITIN is necessary. The apartment is also asking for her passport as a form of identification. But her passport's been expired for a couple of months.

Are we completely screwed here?

Hi everyone,

I am an American/Portuguese citizen. I lived in the US for 8 years and moved back to Portugal 2 years ago due to family health issues. I am thinking about moving back to the US again soon, however I have a girlfriend who I d like to sponsor to come with me. I understand we have to be married so I can sponsor her and I would rather get married in Portugal first when the time is right. I also have a daughter (who is American/Portuguese).

I m not 100% sure of how the process goes so here are my questions:

- I have to file for Cr1 (I-130 petition) whilst in Portugal? Is this the only petition we have to file?
- what kind of income proof do I have to gather? I am confused about this. I have a job in Portugal (so does she) and even though I don t work in the US I still file for my taxes over there (the way it s supposed to be done). I don t own anything in the US.
Will I need a joint sponsor?
- if I don t make enough money to sponsor her on my own and don t want to use a joint sponsor, would it be a good idea that I move to the US by myself first, get a job and a house and go from there with the petition and affidavit of support?
- if all this goes smoothly and works out the way it s supposed to, will my girlfriend have permission to work immediately?
- can all this be file electronically?

thank you in advance!

Our country does not process immigrant visa so we are currently scheduled for an interview in neighboring Paris. We plan on driving and are wondering what they will ask for as proof of quarantine. The site states the following:

The U.S. Embassy in Paris continues to follow procedures that prioritize the health and safety of our applicants and our employees. As a part of these efforts, any applicants who have traveled outside of France in the prior 10 days will not be admitted for their appointment and will be asked to reschedule for a future date. Additionally, and as a reminder, the U.S. Embassy in Paris only accepts applications from persons who are physically in France and Monaco. Applicants outside of France should make an appointment with the Embassy where they are currently located.
